HC Deb 18 April 1986 vol 95 c522W
Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many people were employed in the different occupational categories in Scotland in 1975 and each subsequent year.

Mr. Allan Stewart

Detailed information is available only for 1981 and is published by the Registrar General for Scotland in "Economic Activity (10 per cent. Sample), Census 1981 Scotland". Some annual estimates can be derived from the tables contained in "New Earnings Survey", part E, published each year by the Department of Employment. These analyses are based on a 1 per cent. sample of full-time employees, and the results are affected by non-response. Copies of these publications are in the Library of the House.
